Whether it’s your first leadership role or one you’ve entered after decades of leading people, one thing is sure: your first 90 days in a new position can make or break your tenure.

In today’s conversation, Daniel and Peter look at what leaders should and shouldn’t do during their first 90 days. “It’s not a standard checklist for everybody,” says Peter, “and not everybody’s going to come in and do it the exact same way.”

Tune in to learn:

• Why you shouldn’t spend your entire 90 days listening
• The danger of focusing on your favorite aspects of your role
• How to cultivate a good working relationship with your boss

Plus, a fun conversation about the origins of some of the most iconic American companies–and the lessons a huge pivot can offer leaders.

When it comes to AI, just about everyone is experiencing some “fear of missing out” right now, says Melissa Reeve. “It’s not just executives. It’s not just your average individual. It’s even people who are writing the code.”

Humans are “not equipped to absorb these changes so quickly,” she says.

Melissa is the creator of the Hyperadaptive Model and author of Hyperadaptive: Rewiring the Enterprise to Become AI-Native. She spent 25 years as an executive and Agile thought leader, which led to pioneering work in Agile marketing and her role as the first VP of Marketing at Scaled Agile. She also co-founded the Agile Marketing Alliance.

In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Melissa discusses how organizations can shift into a 21st Century model with AI integration.

Tune in to learn:

• What an AI-native organization looks like
• What most organizations are missing when it comes to AI integration
• What precedence can teach us about how to integrate AI

Using examples like McDonald’s, Unilever, and Moderna, Melissa shows that AI isn’t just for programmers–it’s a leap forward that can improve organizational operations and work environments for everyone.

Do you have 27 years of experience or one year repeated 27 times?

Too many people find themselves stuck on repeat in their careers–doing the same thing over and over without new challenges or opportunities. While it’s true that everyone bears some responsibility for personal career development, organizations should be part of that process as well.

In part two of their conversation about connecting strategy with talent development, Daniel and Peter look at how organizations can use the “3D” process to develop future-ready talent. This episode focuses on parts two and three of the process–Discuss and Develop.

Tune in to learn:

• The key steps in Discussion and Development of talent
• The vital question leaders often forget to ask when considering individuals for development
• The reason work quality isn’t always the most important consideration in a talent discussion

As organizations look ahead to development conversations in 2026 and beyond, the 3D process can be an important tool to put into use. “We’ve seen this process work across organizations,” says Peter. “It makes a difference in both the short- and the long-term.”
